# Playstyle tier list Countries ranked according to the valor of their players. Included in our methodology * Actual willingness to commit to wars that are not one sided or ganks * RP * Community participation * Diplomacy * Manoeuvering in war # Heroic-Tier * France Fought in 6 of the top 10 most deadly wars. Spent his men like dollars in a stripclub, and the strippers were their enemies most of whom are now hookers, the legal term for dead strippers. Distinguished himself by saving hungary in the war of ruthenian aggression by opening a second front sieging and burning half of prussia, outmanoeuvering the stacks of prussia who decided to divide her attention. France is a force of nature that many have underestimated and none have extinguished. France did not hugbox, maintaining dynamic relations with it's neighbours such as GB, Austria, Provence and Brittany. * Provence There are some players who will actively plan to hugbox with you because it's an easy arrangement their personnal relationship with you is more important than the game. Thunder is the kind of player who will actively prepare your betrayal and death at the apogee of your play in order to advance your personal relationship together. There is no nobler personality. He is shit at manoevering and will often start calling disastrous shots and never listen to orders, HOWEVER, he is one of the few players able and willing enough to lead the meta and try builds that were never envisionned before. Despite being fucking provence he was in 3 or the top 5 most deadly wars and he pulled his full weight, he betrayed fucking france twice and made up with him. What's your excuse, **virgin** ? * Japan Now here is a man ! A man that can resist against odds, the very tissue of heroism ! A man kind to his weak neighbours and ruthless with his treatcherous enemies. A man who faces scum and comes back covered in blood. But he feels clean ! Now why is it he feels clean ? Because he is clean ! Is also a good RP diplomat of yore and that's why we love him. # Honnorable-Tier * Date Like most good players in this campaign, he quit. Date was the first country to explore the world and make transcontinental mercenary systems via a clever use of embassies. He made good memes and was a good boy it's a shame he left. Makes nice memes. * Ethiopia The greatest thing about this campaign is Ethiopia player. He has unwaveringly financed and supported memes and contests with his money instead of being a money munchkin like all the others. He is a shining bright light in the darkness envelopping eu4 multiplayer, a reason to continue, a reason to live. Makes good memes ! * Iceland Wholesome player and a good diplomat, good participant in the community as well but did a risky thing and got bad consequences. It's not his first brush with risk, he tried to tech up a native ! For little I interacted with you, I enjoyed it. I hope you find a way out of this pickle and that you stay playing with us. # Average-Tier (This should be the average for a good community) * Hoongary The 20 year old hoongarer He would be in S tier if he made more memetic attempts in game, but something tell me he is gonna do it. In the classic formulation of a powerduo you have the "head" who thinks and strategises and the "shoulders", the muscle who actually oversee the execution of the plan. In the case of the Franco Hungarian magic duo, France is clearly both the heads and the shoulders. Not only formulating the austro hungarian annexation plan but fighting all the battles for it to be necessary, while hoongary, preserving it's precious moonpower avoided fighting any battles at all costs in order to siege the lands he wanted to conquer. He does have redeeming qualities, when it was time to come clean up my rebels he swallowded his pride and did it. He also saved my life. When brittany came knocking he refused to help defend so that the odds would be as fair as possible to brittany. Sadly his alliance with the other top 2 powers of the game had to be broken up by mods, he didn't do it himself. Still, he is a lot of fun to be around in voice, despite being a coomer. Rated one tier lower than he should be because he still hasn't solo'd distinct. * Brittany Jarvin is a pure unadulerated retard that thinks pretending to be a child is diplomacy and thus that all his questionnable hentai watching translate perfectly into social skills. This "child" is a spawn of the devil that knows only about betrayal. This is good for the health of the campaign. He as of this campaign has attented the frenchie school of alliances and enjoys having a shitty country whose rebels are cleared by his allies. (very good :thumbs_up: ). It was a good match to put this player into a minor in a hot zone so it would not have become optimisation fest and he is actually having fun and so are his neighbours. He is excellent at war, he will manoeuver efficiently, recover from having all his army stackwiped, research his tactical position and adapt to his enemy so as not to fall into the same trap twice but instead lay a trap to his enemy on the exact occasion (looking at you navarra mountains). He has never made a single meme and I am almost frankly thankful for that. He actively develops skanderbeg which is a big +. If only he could show up half the time it would be great. Rated one tier lower because of that. * Netherlands For all diplomatic intents and purposes should have been a puppet but he has his own agenda, he can make deals with even enemies of his protectors and can levy great force with his money. His diplomacy is also not shabby at all, by the single force of his central position he can influence the course of wars and the survival of nations. He was the protector of iceland against england until he was the ravenous destructor of iceland who betrayed him. He sends me passionate messages about country builds at night. What a great guy, he has a lot of potential without even needing any military might associated with it ! Now if only he posted more memes. Rated one tier lower than he should be because of ganks in the new world. Bring only what's necessary ! # Servile-Tier (This should be the minimum for a good community) * Vijayanagar I know nothing of this man, but I sent him twice a PM saying "Hey, friend, can I have some money ? $$$$$$$$$$$$$" and twice he gave me more than 1K. It won't work when you do it. This man is undispensable for the group. I would rate him higher but I have not heard of his accomplishments, which is a sign he's not doing enough ! * Bengal A dude who definitely deserves a better tier but has played so complacently ? Never offensive, always defensive and safe in the immediate, not even in the long term. Let's hope he gets his end game payoff. Challenge yourself goddamnit ! Excellent memer but he hasn't show us his creations this campaign. # Scum-Tier * Hannover Hannover has spent most of the game playing it safe, too safe. Developping and building like a roach. Ganking people. The extreme majority of his expansion is against AI. He has never waged a challenging war or a fair one, until last session. Naturally, being a germanic scum he consulted his pyramid of races and expected hungarians, a noble race, never to defend an inferior race such as the french and thus went on the offensive with better quality and expecting to outnumber the enemy 3 to one. Such retarded diplomacy could not earn him a defeat alone, which is why he will argue Hannover was never defeated militarily, but what here is the actual truth: In his spastic fit to never wage a two front war, after learning from WW1 and WW2, hannover chose to split his stacks between east and west with no reinforcements and no generals, thus getting defeated by the "french subhumans". Peaced out like a coward dog every time he was at war with ruthenia. Hannover does have strong redeeming qualities, he likes to roleplay, he has no particular inclination for hugboxing on paper but he allied the 2 strongest of his neighbours and the ottomans. He once stole a province that had defected from france "in order to keep some tension in the area". This excuse is the perfect example of good diplomatic play. He also makes memes which is a solid plus. He gives advice to new players which is very cool and he makes very funny memes. Rated one tier lower that he is because he of all people should know to be better smh, a true germanoid. * Prussia Germanic scum exemplified. Didn't do shit except hugbox,dev, and attempt to gank. I enjoyed burning berlin in front of your shit manoeuvering. See you when you try something interesting (Which might change with purple in the house) * "Great" Britain Has great potential but keeps ragequitting. I cannot give more. # Cauldron of Pederasty * Ruthenia Unga booga i do nuthin but dev, I no understand deeplo, mods have to break up my hugbox. Me play efficiently booga. Me ganka. In a better campaign, Distinct's senseless build up could have favored a big bad evil guy coalition. And perhaps that's yet to come. However, in a sea of bad players, the best of them is but a drop in the water. Was in 3 of the top 50 biggest wars, all of them were his ganks. * Ottomans Shat and coom and deved the whole game, had his hugbox broken up and now quits before he even loses a single war ? * Mughals Look upon Mughals in awe. He plays singleplayer for all intents and purposes yet he is still shit. All he does is eat from ganks. An alliance of his match formed to counter him from going to india, this coward cried to the mods for it to be disbanded and then discovered that he could attack with only one country defending in the first place. Didn't cry so much about hugboxes when he formed the top alliance of all of asia. He is a recovering player, getting better and better which you must understand as "doesn't bring friends from out of the game to ally him unconditionally or dev his lands- in this group anymore". It's true, after some years, slaying has gotten definitely more palatable, but has he become acceptable ? But hey he hosts. All the memes that he does are awkward and painful to look at and thank god they are rare. Eats disability checks and watches anime.
